8.4.5 "GripForce" parameter
The product can use various gripping forces and gripping speeds to achieve an optimized flow of the gripping process.
Since the product generates gripping force from its gripping speed in combination with the amperage, the gripping force
setting also conversely influences the gripping speed and amperage. The gripping force can be adjusted to various stages.
The user can set the required gripping force to 4 stages.
INFORMATION
The values for the gripping force can be found on the technical data sheet on our website.
This data varies within the series, depending on the specific design.
Please contact Zimmer Customer Service if you have any questions.

8.4.6 "TeachPosition" parameter
"TeachPosition" is used to tell the product at which position the workpiece is expected. The "PositionTolerance" functions
around this position. Thus, the product can distinguish whether a correct or incorrect workpiece has been gripped. Confir
-
mation that the correct workpiece has been gripped is communicated to the control system via the "StatusWord" parameter.
If the detection is correct, the "Teach" bit is set, thereby giving the user the option to monitor this work step.
By means of the position measuring system, it is possible to achieve a "TeachPosition" accuracy of +/- 0.2 mm.
